As Greg suggested, the passphrase handling should be moved from Emacs
into a separate process (which may request special privileges to lock
memory regions etc.).
I agree it is a good solution.
We would still face the issue of how users who never exit Emacs
can provide the passphrase to gpg-agent thru the shell buffer
without its being saved on disk.
